Bosch Angle Grinder

Bosch angle grinder

A German brand, Bosch is known for being a high end electrical and engineering brand. Bosch's products include power tools such as angle grinders. Angle grinders are also known as disc grinders or just simply as grinders.

An angle grinder is a versatile tool and can be used to cut, sharpen, polish and to grind surfaces. There are various kinds of discs for each purpose. One can change the disc based on what their intended usage is going to be. There are also different disc sizes for the different grinders one can purchase, again depending on what it needs to be used for. The other consideration is the RPM, which is the speed of the disc.

Generally, there are two power sources, one is electric the other is pneumatic. Pneumatic ones are lighter as they do not have heavy copper wirings for the motor and the discs are smaller. These are used for more precise jobs.

As with most angle grinders, the models from Bosch also have two handles so one can properly grip and guide the tool. The disc has a guard to keep one from accidentally touching the disc's side closest to them.

Dangers of using an angle grinder

When grinding materials that have iron, the angle grinder produces sparks. Some materials even send out small shards. At times there is also the danger of disc breaking. Due to all this one should wear proper protective gear, which means a full face shield and the appropriate apron.
